Art Journal Journey - Home/House

I kept promising myself I would start journaling...and I kept promising. I scoured all the books and on line sites I could, but yet, I didn't start. And one day early this month I saw a contribution to this challenge site that Patty S. did and I thought "awesome"! I need to really start...and still I procrastinated until the next to the last day of the month. I'm really not thrilled with my journal piece, I like the bg, but the rest...well, I rushed it. But I started - Glory Be!!! I simply love the ink sprays from Red Lead and their ink pad color blocks. The "wish" cloud is a Paperbag stamp on some crushed up tissue paper, and I used Modge Podge to adhere it to the journal page. The stamps are from Unity Stamp Company...I've had them for a long time and hadn't used them...finally! I was going to draw my house, but I waited too long!
